In the last years we have focused our actions on breaking borders, outwards and inwards. Now we want to build bridges between diversities. The Festival will take place in Oranienplatz, well known by the refugee movement. It was the arrival point after a march all over Germany to fight against Residenzpflicht, lagers, deportations and for the right to stay, to study and to work. At that time some successes were achieved. But now Residenzpflicht is back, deportations are massive, there are new police laws using racial profiling or AnKER centers mean greater loss of rights and worse living conditions \u2013 traumatizing generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\ncome back to Oplatz as a refugee women\u2019s group to create awareness\nof the worsening situation through which refugee women are going\nthrough in the lagers. We want to make visible the structural racism\nand build bridges to other non-refugee women. We believe that to be\nable to build bridges we need to be aware of our differences and\nrespect them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The\nFestival will open the space that listens to all women*, because we\nwant a feminism which is inclusive and intersectional. We want a\nFestival that together with feminism brings awareness about\ncolonialism, capitalism and other flight reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfirst preparation meeting of the Festival was in G\u00f6ttingen, where\nwomen came together from A.F.G \u2013 women group G\u00f6ttingen, FLIT\nSolidarity Africa \u2013 Munich, Activists and Afghanistan Women group \u2013\nMagdeburg, Women in Exile-Berlin\/Brandenburg, Nina Hamburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During\nthe meeting some goals were clear: fight deportation laws, deepen the\nunderstanding of women\u2019s rights, guarantee same labor, educational\nand health right for everybody. Also the different groups enhanced\nthe wish of cultural exchange by literacy training in Persian and\nArabic, parade of costumes, with music and dancing, workshops on\nsolidary feminism, legal advice or health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together\nwith feminism, health will be another of our main topics during the\nFestival. We are witnessing how refugee women face lack of adequate\nmedical treatment. Often we are not told what are the illnesses,\nmaking us be in a fragile health situation, which in many cases\nincreases stress and is the cause of many mental health problems. As\na result, there are many suicidal attempts and there is an increase\non deaths due to the living situation in lagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe Festival we want to discuss what is our role as feminists in\nchanging this situation. For this reason we expect to enter into\ndialogue with other non-refugee feminist groups and develop long-term\nstrategies that can show solidarity beyond punctual actions and can\nmove the comfort zones in order to be inclusive and provide solutions\nfor refugee women\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During\nthe Festival there will be tents for workshops and discussions.\nThrough this we will deepen the different topics. All\nthe workshops are meant for women*. \u201cOnly\u201d the one on feminist\nparenting is for everybody. There will be a stage where all refugee\nwomen* will display their cultures through modeling, food, dances,\nplay back theater and music. Everybody is welcome to join the\ncultural activities. There will be space for children\u2019s activities\nduring the day. We keep in mind that they are the next generation of\nbuilding a future racist and sexist free society.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\nmake this Festival happen we need everybody\u2019s support: collecting\ndonations, providing some of the infrastructure needed, help to build\nthe camp, on spot help, etc. If you want to collaborate in any way\nplease write us to <\/strong>info@oldsite-wie.no-borders.studio<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
